Other Things to Note: Our guest house, situated on the ground floor with a few steps at the side entrance, provides a comfortable stay year-round, thanks to its heating, air conditioning, and strong Wi-Fi. We, the hosts, reside in the central part of the home and are available to assist if needed. However, we respect your privacy and strive to ensure your stay is uninterrupted.
